5 Commenting, Aditya Mittal, ArcelorMittal Chief Executive Officer, said: Our third quarter results were supported by the continuing strong price environment, resulting in the highest net income and lowest net debt since 2008. However, this success has been outweighed by our safety results . Improving the group's safety performance is of the highest priority. We have already this year significantly strengthened our safety procedures and will be analyzing what further interventions can be introduced to ensure we eliminate all fatalities. At the beginning of the quarter , we announced an ambitious 2030 CO2 reduction target, backed by plans to invest in various decarbonization initiatives. It is our stated aim to lead the steel industry's important role in ensuring the global economy achieves net zero. That is why we joined Breakthrough Energy Catalyst, are collaborating with the Science Based Targets initiative on a new methodology for the steel sector and are supporting the Industrial Deep Decarbonization Initiative's campaign for green public procurement, which was launched at COP26 this week.

6 Despite the volatility we continue to see as a result of the ongoing presence and repercussions of COVID-19, this has been a very strong year for ArcelorMittal . We have re-positioned our balance sheet, re-set ourselves for the transition to a low-carbon economy, we are growing strategically through high-quality, high-return projects and we are returning capital to shareholders. We are aware of the challenges but excited by the opportunities that will exist for steel in the coming years and beyond.. The outlook remains positive: underlying demand is expected to continue to improve; and, although marginally off the recent record highs, steel prices remain at elevated levels, something which will be reflected in the annual contracts for 2022.. Sustainable development and safety performance Health and safety - Own personnel and contractors lost time injury frequency rate Protecting the health and wellbeing of employees remains the Company's overarching priority with ongoing strict adherence to World Health Organization guidelines (in respect of COVID-19), and specific government guidelines have been followed and implemented.

7 Health and safety performance based on own personnel and contractors lost time injury frequency (LTIF) rate was in the third quarter of 2021 ("3Q 2021") as compared to for the second quarter of 2021 ("2Q 2021"). Prior period figures have not been recast for the ArcelorMittal USA disposal which took place in December 2020 and exclude ArcelorMittal Italia (which is now accounted for under the equity method) for all periods.

8 ArcelorMittal announced with the Government of Canada its intention for a CAD$ billion investment in decarbonization technologies at ArcelorMittal Dofasco's plant in Hamilton. The intended investments would reduce annual CO2 emissions at ArcelorMittal 's Hamilton, Ontario operations by approximately 3Mt within the next seven years. The Company signed a letter of intent with the Governments of Belgium and Flanders, supporting a billion project to build a direct reduced iron (DRI) plant at its site in Gent, as well as two new electric furnaces. On November 3, 2021, ArcelorMittal and the government of Quebec announced a CAD$205 million investment by AMMC in its Port-Cartier pellet plant, enabling this facility to convert its entire 10Mt annual pellet production to DRI. pellets by the end of 2025. The investment, in which the Quebec government will contribute through an electricity rebate of up to CAD$80 million, will enable the Port-Cartier plant to become one of the world's largest producers of DRI pellets, the raw material feedstock for ironmaking in a DRI furnace.

9 The project will deliver a direct annual CO2e reduction of approximately 200,000 tonnes at AMMC's Port-Cartier pellet plant, equivalent to over 20% of the pellet plant's total annual CO2e emissions. Further investments in the Company's XCarbTM Innovation fund10: ArcelorMittal has become an anchor partner in Breakthrough Energy's Catalyst program, committing to an equity investment of $100 million over the next five years. Catalyst, launched earlier this year, is a new model for how companies, governments and private philanthropy can finance, produce, and ensure widespread adoption of next-generation clean technologies. The program will initially focus on four decarbonization technologies: direct air capture (DAC); green hydrogen; long-duration energy storage (LDS); and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Industry recognition for excellence: On October 13, 2021, ArcelorMittal was announced as a Supplier Sustainability Award winner at Ford Motor Company's virtual event.

10 Ford's World Excellence Awards recognize companies that exceed expectations and achieve the highest levels of excellence in quality, cost, performance and delivery. Net Zero Steel Strategy: as a member of the Energy Transitions Commission, ArcelorMittal participated in the development of the Mission Possible Partnership's Net Zero Steel Strategy, published in October 2021 with Energy Transitions Commission and the Rocky Mountain Institute. The report elaborates two net zero scenarios for steel by 2050, differentiated by the level of coordinated global action to support the transition this decade. Page 4. Analysis of results for 3Q 2021 versus 2Q 2021 and 3Q 2020. Total steel shipments in 3Q 2021 were , lower as compared with in 2Q 2021 due to weaker demand (in particular automotive) as well as production constraints and order shipment delays which are expected to reverse in 4Q 2021. Adjusted for the change in scope ( excluding the shipments of ArcelorMittal Italia11, deconsolidated as from April 14, 2021).
